God is righteous, He is faithful.
He examines man's heart
and what's inside.
God will reveal who's false, who's true.
So don't be alarmed,
all works to God's time.

1
Who longs for Him and who does not—
He will tell you.
Just eat well and drink well,
come before Him, get close to Him,
and He will do all of His work Himself.
Don't be anxious for quick results.
God's work is not something
that's done at once.
In it are steps and His wisdom.
So His wisdom is revealed and divulged.
His judgment has completely befallen,
and the church is a battleground.
You should all get ready
and should devote
your whole self to this final round.
God will help you fight for Him
a good fight of victory.

2
Rewarding good, punishing bad,
this is God's work,
and He will let you see.
God favors none, He truly loves
all the people who love Him sincerely.
God's anger will forever be
with those who do not
sincerely love God.
So they'll remember He's the true God,
God who examines Man's innermost heart.
His judgment has completely befallen,
and the church is a battleground.
You should all get ready
and should devote
your whole self to this final round.
God will help you fight for Him
a good fight of victory.

3
Do not avoid, and do not hide,
do not try to cheat or try to conceal.
Can you not see God's countenance,
His wrath and His judgment
shown publicly?
He'll quickly judge, without mercy,
all of those who don't
want Him sincerely.
All concealed things will be opened.
God is the Sun
that lights up all dark things.
His judgment has completely befallen,
and the church is a battleground.
You should all get ready
and should devote
your whole self to this final round.
God will help you fight for Him
a good fight of victory.
